Does your X3 have the Sport Package? Mine does. I was really asking about the comfort level with the H&R springs because I believe the SP uses stiffer springs, shocks and anti-roll bars already. The softer shocks of a standard model might ease the ride with the H&R springs compared to the SP version. I really like the look of the lowered setup but am worried the H&R springs will make it ride too rough. It's pretty firm as it is and I don't want it to get any harder.

Going with the slightly larger diameter tires could help offset that though, as you mentioned, AND fill the large gaps in the wheel wells better.

BTW, I like the looks without the roof rails too . If I could have I would not have gotten them on mine either. I don't need them either but we can't delete them when ordering here in the states .
